Saving face

The do’s and don’ts for feeling fresh and looking your best whatever the weather

Hair

Hats, snow, central heating… Your hair has to cope with all sorts, so show it some love…

DO Give your hair and scalp some much-needed moisture by leaving in a dollop of conditioner. Chill for 30 minutes then wash it out. Repeat once a week.

DO Invest in some beard oil – even if you don’t have a beard! Its many uses give you bang for buck – use on facial hair for soft stubble, before shaving to reduce friction and even on your head for a frizz-free barnet.

DON’T Go outside with wet hair. If your hair isn’t completely dry before going outside, not only will you get colder, but the moisture in your hair together with the cold air will make it more brittle and dry.

Face

Because nobody wants red, dry skin ruining their selfie game…

DO Moisturise. Seriously, if there’s one thing you should invest a bit of time and money in, it’s this. You’ll see and feel results straight away. And remember to still wear suncream.

DO Drink water and lots of it. We all know the benefits of staying hydrated but our skin, the largest organ in our bodies, is the last to get any of it. Hydrated skin looks better, lasts longer and can even help prevent breakouts.

DON’T Shave. If you can, let the face blanket grow a bit before going anywhere with crazy cold climates. Whiskers can provide protection.
